A while back a friend introduced me to the world of book swapping/recycling via “PaperBackSwap.com”. This maybe old news to some, but it was such a great idea I thought I’d share it with you blogsters.

You take all your paper back books that your willing to trade and list them on the site. It’s real easy, you use the bar code numbers and it just knows what you talking about, and even how much postage to use. When someone requests a book from your list, you print out the wrapper at home (the site does it all for you!), attach stamps, and let the mail carrier pick it up. Then you earn credits for each book rec’d and you get to pick from what’s available or make a “wish list”.

I love it. I got rid of a ton of crappy self help books (they were my mom’s I swear!) and now I have a whole shelf of awesome literature I’ll never have time to read! PBS will even show you a map of where all your books have traveled - making you feel all the more hippie and world beat. There’s also “SwapaCD.com” – now I have a way to get rid of that Living Colour CD…
